Arsenal star wants to leave in January with European giants interested

Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi is reportedly considering an early departure from the club in January, as interest from European clubs intensifies. The 27-year-old has reportedly reached an "exit decision," and multiple major clubs across Europe have been informed of his situation. Zubimendi joined Arsenal for £60million in 2025, but his role has diminished, leading him to seek a move to revive his career.

Spain's Real Madrid, Barcelona, and Atlético Madrid, as well as Germany's Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, are among the clubs reportedly interested. While Chelsea and Liverpool have also been contacted, their interest is reportedly less advanced. This development highlights the growing competition in midfield and Arsenal's struggle to utilize Zubimendi's potential effectively.

The club may be preparing for formal interest, potentially considering a loan as a solution. With multiple clubs showing interest, Arsenal faces a challenging situation that could impact their squad and finances in the coming months.
